You can also do something like this with static pages using https://pagefind.app/

I built a ChatGPT/claude history search tool and it works surprisingly well.

There are other tools also. Not to detract from this tool but just to inform people about alternatives.

Not quite a comparable alternative. I use Pagefind and it's great for static sites but the search is all client side JS, there's no PHP (or otherwise) client to use it's generated index on the server.

A comparable alternative might be TNTSearch: https://github.com/teamtnt/tntsearch though that requires some (common) PHP extensions to be available, which this library does not require.
